Materialist lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Materialist lyrics You re obsesssed and distressed Cause you can t make any sense of the ludicrous nonsense and incipient senescence that will deem your common sense useless this aint no recess! I want to believe in you, but my plan keeps falling through I knoe I have to face the harshnes, grin and bear the truth And I have to walk this mile in my own shoes (and I m no fool!) [Chorus] I m materialist a full-blown realist (physical theorist) and I guess I m full of doubt so I m prone to hear you out and refuse I m materialist There ain t no fear in this it s for all to see, so don t talk of hidden mysteries with me... Mind over matter, it really don t matter If the street s idle chatter turns your heart strings to tatters Flatter hopes don t flatter and soul batter won t congeal to mend a life that is shattered into shards Was it in the cards? The process of belief is an elixir when you re weak I must confess, at times I indulge it on the sneak but generally my outlook s not so bleak (and I m not meek!) [Chorus] I m materialist a full-blown realist (physical theorist) and I guess I m full of doubt, but I ll gladly have it out with you I m materialist I ain t no deist it s there for all to see, so don t of hidden mysteries with me Like Rome under Nero, our future s one big zero Recycling the past to meet the immediate needs And through it all we ramble forth with perservere and climb Our mountains of regret to sow our seeds I m materialist I m materiliast I m materialist I m materialist (hold) song lyrics
